MVs Collection #171 ( Best Of 2014 )

Posted on | December 28, 2014 | No Comments

Over the last few years, I’ve kept my blogging to my podcasts and my love
of music videos.

Back in the day, on Muchmusic, I would watch on a weekly basis “The Wedge”
which was our “120 Minutes” here in Canada.

Sadly, the show met it’s end earlier this year after an on and off run
of 22 years.

Now, if you want to watch any and all music videos, YouTube is where it’s at
and clearly, it’s the best thing that could’ve happened to the format.

Directors can now be as free as they want to be when it comes to their
visions, not having to bow down to TV network regulations, they can be
as creative and fucked up as their twisted minds allows.

So many good directors in the game right now: Hiro Murai, Eric Wareheim,
Kahlil Joseph, Nabil … to name just a few.

2014 was an exceptionally good year and I wanted to share my 15 favorites
in no particular order.

Through the magic of YouTube, I’ve created a playlist so that you can watch them
on your beautiful HD TVs in all their stupendous glory.

Listen: CJLO’s Dirty Work / Hooked On Sonics ( December 11th 2014 )

Posted on | December 16, 2014 | No Comments

Last Thursday, I skedaddled to Concordia’s Loyola Campus for a hang with
the CJLO 1690AM Thursday afternoon crew Denis of Dirty Work (@denisdirtywork) and Omar Goodness of Hooked On Sonics (@omarsonics).

On air that afternoon were the very hyper “Carlos” and the cool as a cucumber
“Sparky”, new producers of both shows, Nana of “Nana Knows Best” with her own picks and yours truly.

4 hours of non stop radio fun. Mostly new songs played and us shooting the shit.

I’ll be back January 8th (TBD) four our annual Hooked On Dirty Airplay
Year-End Spectacular, where each of our top 10 albums of 2014 lists will
be revealed.

This CJLO appearance will sub for my podcast this month (cuz why not) which
will be back in early January with new songs and picks unused for previous
episodes from the year that was.

Come back for that but also, come back for my annual Christmas compilation,
my best of year-end lists and the MEGA SUPER DUPER 2014 songs compilation
posted on New Year’s Day.

Woot.
